Tigers in Normandy

The Tiger tank was one of the most famous--and feared--armored fighting vehicles of World War II, and although the Germans deployed only a limited number in Normandy during the pivotal summer campaign of 1944, Tigers delivered formidable blows against Allied armor. In Tigers in Normandy, tank expert Wolfgang Schneider details the combat history of the Tiger in the months following D-Day, supplementing his comprehensive account with period photos, then-and-now shots of terrain, first-person accounts orders of battle, tank inventories, and maps.
